Today's Mistress

She entered the class...
All was loud...
She stepped into the class...
The class was out of sound...

Today, discipline has been found...
Today, the drop of a bobby pin didn't dare to make a sound...
Lights turned on...
Silence exhibited at dawn...

She entered the class...
All was loud...
She stepped into the class...
The class was out of sound...

A force field attracted all eyes....
All the heads turned around...
Light projected from up high...
A slide was displayed...

She entered the class...
All was loud...
She stepped into the class...
The class was out of sound...

Silence is her key...
A clear voice is her tune...
Attention is all she needs...
What she says becomes immune...

She entered the class...
All was loud...
She stepped into the class...
The class was out of sound...

Now that all is quiet...
A lesson presents its slide shows...
All become silent...
No one dares to move their shadows...
